-self host your own wallet with BTCPay software 
-self host your own image & videos with Chevereto software
-self host you own relay with nostr-rs-relay

of course that cost money, more money than what you are paying but most importantly you need to have the skills to self host everything.

So it's good there is administrators out there running things for us. 
Sometimes it's better and easier to just pay someone else to host and maintain things for you. 

What worries me is that someday the relay operators or image hosting websites might shutdown and there goes all my posts. 

I like hosting my own things.
